The 2012 Volkswagen Passat has a brake pad sensor and warning light as standard features. You might be wondering why these sensors are important. Brake pad sensors are created to trigger or complete a circuit when the brake pad wears down enough to touch the brake rotor. This helps to collect data such as wheel speed, brake pressure, brake disc temperature, brake usage time, and distance traveled to estimate how much life is left in your brake pads. But do they require replacement? Since brake pad wear sensors are meant to break, they should be replaced each time new brake pads are installed. It is also recommended to check the sensors regularly, in addition to changing the pads, and replace them if necessary. Over time, the brake heat can harm the wiring and clips of the sensors.
